People in the area reported a man driving erratically and yelling from a black Honda Civic with signs and stickers -- some referencing Sept. 11, 2001 -- about 3 p.m. Monday, News4’s Jackie Bensen reported. One sign read "Death to Capitalism," bicyclist Jen House told News4......

Several of what appear to be gas cans and propane canisters are visible inside the car, which prompted police to close several streets in the area and evacuate Ross Elementary School and an apartment building as a precaution, Bensen reported.

Looked like a 45 year old, male, dazed, humanities adjunct instructor.

Sounds like one of those OWS guys.

Clearly another deranged tea partier.

[NotYourAverageDhimmi]

The guys making bank selling the “Death to Capitalism” bumper stickers must be laughing their butts off at all the hippies and Occupiers buying them.

DuPont Circle is also known as the “fruit loop”.

Keep moving please. Nothing to see here folks. Just another Obama follower gone berserk

"The Secret Service is at the scene and may take over the investigation, D.C. police said."

0bama probably wants to recruit him for a Cabinet position.

“DuPont Circle is also known as the “fruit loop”.”

Back in about 1952, we lived in a second floor apartment across the street, clockwise, from the old Peoples Drugstore on DuPont Circle. Of course DC was a whole lot different back then.

I just started an album for freebies of bumper sticker/t shirt slogans for others to print. So far I've only put up two versions of this but there will be others coming.

The Honda Civic is missing its Obama stickers.

Quick, audit some more tea partiers!

[AceMineral]

Not enough imperialism.

[Zeneta]

It is very possible he was going around the circle in an effort to gain supports of his cause.

D.C. has gone through a boat load of changes over the years.

As far as cities go, I still think it’s the best city in the world. Expensive, but I don’t know of any other city that has the open spaces with so many monuments, memorials and access to history than D.C.

No, I think this has all the earmarks of Amish.

“No, I think this has all the earmarks of Amish.”

Well, he IS white, but no beard.

Sounds like your typical DU’er
